All the game in The Orange Box plays as there is no way to aim you guns except for the bow in Half-Life 2 and Episode 1 and 2, the sniper rifle in Team Fortress 2 is the same as all first person shooting game made by Value, but Team Fortress 2 some of the class are to fast for a sniper to snipe and the map hardly give you an edge while some could sneak up on you. The graphic on The Orange Box are okay and decent but not make up to match up today's standard. Sounds are alright, but nothing special. Overall, The Orange Box gives you 5 games that been release from 2004 to 2007 made for PC and XBox 360 into a Playstation video game, in which still uses the original engine base off from DirectX 8.
Gameplay: 7- Like playing a game without auto-aim or hip aim asst.
Graphics: 8- Looks okay.
Sound: 7- Is okay.
Value: 6- It has no aim down sight, which make it hard to kill the creature/enemy from mid to far range except for the "sniper guns".
